I just finally brought my dream factor - Imperial Knight! With new codex was much better so I brought it..

I want nice look Freesword Knight that come with either Blood angel and Dark Angel ( and imperial Guards of course)

I look at picture gallery's... I like white theme that blend with deathwing and Blood Angel priest.... I thought of paint a wing on shoulder pad and waring strip on top to back....

To Blood angel Fan and Dark angel Fan,
I would like to see if imperial Knight work well along with the Angel?

Black or white would be neutral enough to work with both, especially with red/green accents. Even something predominantly red could work, depending on the shade.

Personally I'd avoid any Chapter markings on the Knight simply as most Chapters are pretty strict about their heraldry, but if your forces have any campaign markings or such, those would be perfect to add. Basing in the same way would also help tie it together.

Yeah true.

I don't want put on chapter on my knight.. After read codex it made me want to buy odd number of Knight! ( 1,3 or 5 )

So that mean my first knight need look good for future if I get another 2...

White with rose red trim look nice in my head.
What about dove wing on personal heraldry instead of house heraldry?

Some kind of wing based heraldry would do nicely, it ties in without copying Chapter symbols.

Some thing like that on all personal emblem and livery.

Black background with white Imperial logo for imperial livery...

House crest, emblem and livery is hard to chose..

I just open my Knight Warden box kit and start build.... Here I come weapons, look like it cannot replace weapon unless I buy another bits? Anyone know how to replaceable wargear? Because if it is only ONE choice for pair of wargear then it was hard to pick!

Oohhh Knight Crusader! Firepower! Oohhh Knight Errant lot of ID blob.... Nah let get close and personal yeah that's Knight Gallant! But I like my first sight of Imperial Knights- Knight Paladin, keep it classic.... Oh look at box with Knight Warden front on it! Look at that Fist! Bleep! I want all of them!

I'm in the process of creating a tutorial on magnetizing every weapon option on the Knight, if you can hold on for a couple of days.

Yeah I can hold my breath that long

Just kid! I can start painting on body anyway, I am slow and purpose painting heh.

I will see what you got.

I don't know what you mean by "wobble like jellyfish", since the magnets actually hold them in place pretty well on the same axis they can usually rotate on. But hey, suit yourself, just trying to help. In fact, I'd love it if you share what you end up doing to have swappable weapons.

Your don't wobble? What type magnet do you use? My friend from my Club have lot of magnet model that always fell apart. This what put me off..

Can you show me any clip that show your Imperial Knight do not wobble and fell apart when move?

just got my first knight last week as well and have just finished building it this evening. I magnetised all of the weapons and the masks so that they are interchangeable. It's not to hard to do thakfully. There are quite a few tutorials on how to do it on YouTube which shouldhelp you out. Amazing kit!!!! I'm planning on painting it up as a Freeblade as well - cream marble plates with a few dark dark blue/green counter coloured sections. Good luck and enjoy

Photo of it when your ready! Want to see it, Januine!

Everyone who use Magnet... Don't listen to me about wobble like jellyfish... Because my friend armies look like this...

Honest!

You will get wobble when you use two different sizes of magnets, and when you have your magnets protruding from the surface its on as opposed to flush with it. That's normal with any kind of magnetizing. That's why, if you look at my tutorial, I use 1cm diameter magnets for the elbow joints, they're huge and thus instead of wobbling, they rotate. It's not the magnets, its the modeler.

Good point... Look like I need buy magnet and try it on my nids before work on imperial Knight...

Can't learn from it if don't do it at all.

Aye - what Enig said is bang on. Magnetising is the best solution but there's a few things you have to make sure of to get a solid lock. making sure they are flush and set dead on is really important. I use greenstuff to set my mags in with a drop of superglue. Correct sized magnets for the job too is well important. for the knight I used 3mm (carapace weapons and mask) , 6mm for the shoulder/arm weapons and then a pair of might 15mm for the pelvis to upper body lock. No wobbles there!!! all set into place (barr the little 3mm) in greenstuff and superglue. I'll try and pop a few photos up on my AdMech plog so you can see
